What People Say

According to reviews on TripAdvisor and OpenTable, diners love the “coastal vibe in the middle of Nashville,” and mention that it's a “great place to start the night.” Guests often highlight the “Instagram-worthy decor,” “friendly service,” and “delicious cocktails,” especially the frosé.

Areas for Improvement

It can get pretty busy on weekends and show nights, so reservations are a smart move. Some guests mention that the music inside can be a bit loud for conversation, especially during peak hours.
